Psalm 25:4-14 – The Bible (KJV) – Show me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy loving kindnesses; for they have been ever of old. Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD.

Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

For thy name’s sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great. What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant.

Thank you for your visit, Len, gloryteller. I appreciate your taking time to stop by. I love this psalm, too. I cry out to the LORD to show me His ways and how to walk in them. Thank you for your comment. Blessings to you…

Thank you, Carl. I’m always looking for His guidance. His ways are always better than mine. This morning I had a problem. I prayed asking the LORD to fix it. I even threw in my idea how it should turn out. Sure enough, the LORD solved it, but not as I thought. He did it in a way that was ten times better than my expectation! I agree exactly with what you said in your comment: a simple prayer and the way magically (divinely) appears. Blessings to you, Carl…

His ways aren’t our ways, nor are His thoughts our thoughts. Don’t you love the creative ways He solves things? How many times have we said, “I’d never thought of that!” Beyond anything we can imagine, yes, that is He.

My favorite part of this passage is “The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.” This sticks out for me because I remember a church service many years ago when the pastor talked about some of the negative connotations associated with the word “meek”. He assured the congregation that meek did not mean weak (nobody likes to be thought of as ‘weak’.) Humble? Most people can accept that.
